Cheesy Street Grill is a fast-casual franchise concept that specializes in gourmet grilled-cheese sandwiches and comfort foods. The brand began in 2014 as a food truck in Connecticut, expanding in 2016 to open two brick-and-mortar locations in Massachusetts service plazas.
The franchisor, Cheesy Street Grill Franchising, LLC, was legally formed in Massachusetts in 2019 and is headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. The franchise offers several formats, including sit-down or kiosk restaurants, food trucks or trailers, pop-ups, and an optional beer and wine add-on.
The menu features grilled-cheese sandwiches with creative flavor combinations, mac and cheese, soups, loaded tater tots, and classic comfort sides. Cheesy Street Grill stands out by using high-quality, fresh ingredients and offering flexible franchise models designed to reduce startup costs and staffing needs.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Cheesy Street Grill provides a detailed training program designed to prepare franchisees to effectively operate either a restaurant or a mobile food unit. The training covers essential operational and administrative skills. Here are the main training components:
Cheesy Street Grill does not offer exclusive territorial protection to its franchisees. Franchisees are granted the right to operate a restaurant or mobile unit at a specific approved location, but the franchisor retains full discretion to establish additional franchises or company-owned units in nearby or overlapping areas.
This means a franchisee may face direct competition from other Cheesy Street Grill outlets.
The franchisor also does not limit itself geographically in terms of branding, marketing, or supply distribution. Franchisees are expected to comply with system standards and source products only from approved suppliers, but these regulations are not tied to exclusive territorial rights.
